SMETA audited. SEDEX registered. Living responsibility.

We are pleased to announce an important milestone in our commitment to responsible business practices:
We have successfully completed the SMETA 4-Pillar Audit and are now officially registered on the SEDEX platform.

SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is one of the world’s leading audit standards for social and ethical responsibility in global supply chains. It focuses on four key areas that shape our approach to sustainable business:

1. Social Responsibility
   We are committed to ensuring decent working conditions—free from child or forced labor, free from discrimination, and with the clear goal of creating fair and safe workplaces. We take the health and safety of our employees seriously.

2. Environmental Responsibility
   Environmental and climate protection are integral parts of our corporate responsibility. We continuously work to conserve resources, reduce emissions, and minimize waste.

3. Ethical Business Conduct
   Integrity is our top priority: We strictly reject corruption and bribery, uphold fair competition, and handle personal data with the utmost care.

4. Supply Chain Responsibility
   For us, responsibility does not end at our factory gates. We rely on transparent processes, ongoing monitoring, risk assessments, and clear actions to ensure standards are upheld throughout the entire supply chain.

Our SEDEX registration marks another consistent step toward creating transparency and trust—for our partners, customers, and above all, for the people who work with and for us every day.
We do not see SMETA as a one-time audit, but as part of an ongoing process of continuous improvement.
